Mississippi river to carry full cargoes and
many oil its tributaries to the sonth are
lower than ever known before. Steam

aud the vegetable matter and logs
which have long been buried there have
taken fire and have been burning for
days. Asa consequence, many square
mites OF that country are on fire, which
is burning ont the accumulated peat
and vegetable mold where it is dry
enough. The bottom lands OF the Mis-.
sissippi valley are also on fire, and con-
siderable damage is being cone valuable
timber. Farmers. in many instances,
have been compelled TO fight these fires
to save their gin houses from destruction.
A high wind lie prevailing tonight, which,
no doubt, will cause serious disaster !.
The extent Of these fires cannot be esti-
